Aida Rentas, Nuestra Señora de Colores, b. 1938

Dec 12, 2024 | thegavoice.com | Maria Dolan

“I always had the attitude that if I want to do something, you are not going to stop me.” Aida RentasChris and I postponed our nuptial celebrations from February until May of 2024 so my good friend Aida Rentas could make it from her home in Puerto Rico. Brent Duncan filmed her at my house speaking on her life as part of his Queer Stories series with me and the Georgia LGBTQ History Project. If you don’t know Aida’s name, then you were not plugged into ATL life in the 1980s, the aughts, and beyond.
Luca Guadagnino and Daniel Craig Bring Novella ‘Queer’ to the Big Screen

Dec 12, 2024 | thegavoice.com | Jim Farmer

When director Luca Guadagnino first read the 1985 novella, “Queer” by William S. Burroughs, he was 17 — and it stuck with him. Many decades later, it’s the source of a new film starring Daniel Craig. Taking place in 1950 in Mexico City, “Queer” is about William Lee (Craig), an American expat — leading a solitary life — who becomes enamored with younger man Eugene Allerton (Drew Starkey) and realizes intimacy indeed might be a possibility.
A Different Kind of Thanksgiving

Dec 12, 2024 | thegavoice.com | Melissa Carter

Life is different without your parents. I lost my father back in 2001, while Millie Pete left us in 2020. As I slowly get used to being an orphan, I realize I took for granted how much my parents kept our family — both immediate and extended — together. As a kid, you just assume life will always remain the same, but once you begin to lose family members, you see how quickly things change — especially around the holidays. Katie Jo and I flip-flop the holiday season where Mr. Carter is concerned.

Reflecting on Six Years

Dec 12, 2024 | thegavoice.com | Katie Burkholder

I still remember the day I was hired at Georgia Voice. I was at a hibachi dinner with my partner at the time and received a text from Berlin, the editor at the time I was interning, asking if I’d be interested in a part-time position managing the website. As a college sophomore who was already anxious about being employed by the time I graduated, I was overjoyed. I had no idea how wonderful a gift I was being given.
LGBTQ Asylum Seekers, Migrants Brace for Second Trump Administration

Dec 8, 2024 | thegavoice.com | Michael K. Lavers

Advocacy groups in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s election fear his administration’s proposed immigration policies will place LGBTQ migrants and asylum seekers at increased risk. “What we are expecting again is that the new administration will continue weaponizing the immigration system to keep igniting resentment,” Abdiel Echevarría-Cabán, an immigration lawyer who is based in Texas’s Rio Grande Valley, told the Washington Blade.
Reflections Against Death by Freezing

Dec 5, 2024 | thegavoice.com | Rose Pelham

A week before election day, I published an op-ed predicting Trump’s win. In that article, I compared the efforts of the Democratic Party to keep Trump out of power with the French government’s Maginot Line. In the face of an opponent who had already beaten them once, and retained sufficient support to nearly overturn the 2020 election, it was folly to rely on the assumption he could not win again while polling well within the margin of error. Especially considering the consequences of his agenda.
